KMLImporter released

From ShockFires blog :

I've spent a few hours moving some of PlaneTracker's code over to a new plugin and the result is a plugin that can read most .kml files that contain icons Support for other features such as polygons and network links are on the list (note that it already supports images that have to be downloaded from the web) Because I cannot include the default icons GE uses you have to copy those over yourself Find palette*.png in the GE res dir and copy those over to the empty icons directory This plugin comes with no sort of warranty at all, so use it at your own risk

See the KMLImporter add-on page for more details.
